3. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Why We Didnt Ask For It Dont get me wrong, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been an excellent and integral element of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Theyve acted as a sort of connective tissue, the perfect means of bridging the different films. In fact, without S.H.I.E.L.D. there would have been no one to have brought the Avengers together in the first place. So, thanks, Director Fury and Co. But the great thing about S.H.I.E.L.D., and the key to their success is that they arent the main attraction. They provide the setup, the context, for characters like Thor or Iron-Man or even the Hulk to do what they do best, and when you take those away, what you have left is essentially the CIA with a Helicarrier.
Why We Might Tune In Anyways For one thing, its been revealed that not only is Agent Phil Coulson not dead after becoming shish kabob courtesy of Loki in The Avengers, but he will also
headline the series. That alone is enough to make a lot of us tune in, if only to find out how he survived. Also, theres always the hope that well get to see a cameo or two by some of Marvels major players.
